Dominic Wright Photography

If you haven’t come across Glitzy Secrets before, than allow me to introduce you. They are an award winning online boutique specialising in vintage-inspired jewellery and hair accessories for weddings and special occasions. You’ll probably have seen their pieces in bridal magazines, wedding blogs and even on the television in the likes of Downton Abbey and Strictly Come Dancing. Well if it’s good enough for Lady Mary…

And while their designs are renowned for their exceptional quality, Glitzy Secrets pride themselves on producing ‘heirlooms with a purse-friendly price tag’. Afterall, the company was founded by self-proclaimed magpie Victoria, who just like many of you Brides out there, was looking for costume jewellery without a hefty price tag. And as well as being beautiful, the pieces are very wearable too.

As a little Friday treat for you, we’re sharing the new collection for 2016, the Timeless Elegance Collection, which focuses on statement pieces, perfect for adding some sparkle to your wedding day look. We’re also giving away £150 to spend at Glitzy Secrets – all you need to do is leave a comment below the post telling us which gorgeous pieces you’d spend the money on, and trust us, there is SO much pretty, you’ll find it difficult to choose…

The Glitzy Secrets Team: Our 2016 Timeless Elegance Collection focuses on statement pieces inspired by the romantic glamour of Old Hollywood. With designs ranging from dramatic combs which nod towards the early 1920s to bejewelled headpieces worthy of a Hollywood Starlet to classic 50s style crystal and pearl necklaces and earrings, it was important to keep all styling for our photo shoot low-key and effortlessly elegant.

The lovely Emma of Coco Wedding Venues suggested One Belgravia which was the perfect venue for us. Quite literally a blank canvas full of light, ornate paneling and detailing, it enabled us to achieve a simple style without being stark or too modern. It was the perfect setting for Dom and Zoe of Dominic Wright Photography to be able to capture the sheer beauty of the collection.

When it came to choosing a gown to complement our designs, there was no hesitation in calling our lovely friends at Eliza Jane Howell. We’re huge fans and the exquisite detail on their Sibella gown beautifully accentuated the sparkle in our Austrian crystal adorned designs.

Keeping with the classic Old Hollywood vibe, we wanted to go for a timeless hairstyle and subtle make-up which Erin from Tori Harris Pro Team totally achieved with a chic side chignon and emphasising our model Aurelie’s gorgeous long lashes. Aside from a chair and candles, the only other décor styling was the most amazing pink peony and rose arrangement and bouquet from Emily and Me – totally beyond beautiful!

Ts&Cs – To enter the competition all you need to do is comment below the post, telling us how you would spend the £150 – it’s that simple. You can see the full range of accessories on the Glitzy Secrets website. The winner will be selected at random and will be notified by email within 5 working days of the end date of the competition.

The prize is non transferable, cannot be exchanged for cash and only one entry per person will be counted.

The competition will close at midnight on 22nd July 2016. The £150 can be redeemed against any item at Glitzy Secrets – regardless of whether it is in the sale or not, but is subject to availability.

There is so many beautiful hair pieces, but for me it would have to be the Grace of Gatsby hair pin. I’d spend the money on one for myself, but also for my two sisters who are my bridesmaids. The Art deco style would go beautifully with the wedding venue (Islington Town Hall) and my wedding dress. And I love the idea of my sisters being able to have such a lovely gift as a thank you for all their help in the run up and on the day.

Wow some really nice things!?
I’d definitely get the cascades of pearl hair comb and the something blue garter! The rest I would spend on earrings for myself and the mum’s (not having any bridesmaids!)…

Hi, I really don’t know how I would choose. There are so many beautiful pieces I think I would need the help of my maid of honour an best friend of 23 years. My dress is very plain and to be able to wear something beautiful in my hair would really bring out the simple beauty of my dress.

Thank you RMW for introducing me to glitzy secrets, I love everything! I would definitely choose from the new rose gold collection – modern and classic at the same time and would go with my blush toned dress! 🙂

I would buy my three bridesmaids a pair of the Perfect Pistachio earrings and then buy the Silver Goddess side tiara for myself. The leaf detail would go prefect with my forest/nature inspired wedding!

After much deliberation and combing the site for the last hour I’ve managed to narrow down my favourites! I am in love with the deco extravagance tiara which matches in with my dress, the eternally timeless bracelet which goes with anything and is elegant and stunning and the precious heiress earrings which match beautifully with my engagement ring. I would have to get my bridesmaids something too! Every piece is so beautiful! Fingers are crossed!!

There are so many beautiful pieces. It is so difficult to chose… I do like the Vintage Wreath Tiara… but I also like Charming Pearls Hair Band and the Enchanting Pearl Tiara. And then there are the Bridesmaid Hair Clips… so lovely.

wow that was hard they are all stunning and unique.
Id choose the Starlet Statement Cuff and Cascades of Crystal Necklace as I hate the thought of them sitting in a box forgotten after my wedding so with these they are stunningly pretty but also wearable with my jeans and heels everyday so I have a reminder of my fairytale day with me all the time.

Thank you for introducing me to Glitzy Secrets!
I have spent all evening admiring the beautiful adornments. Our wedding will be at a 30s village hall so we are trying to complement the venue with 30s elements in our day – Glitzy Secrets would be just spiffing 😉
I am torn between a few pairings for my three bridesmaids (who I’d have to consult in the decision!) and me:
(a) Heirloom of Pearl Side Tiara for me, and Garland of Pearls Headband or Heirloom Garland Headband for my girls
(b) Exquisitely Precious Side Tiara for me, and Enchanting Pearl Hair Comb for my girls
Fingers crossed!

This is such a stunning shoot! Thank you for introducing me to the Glitzy Glam website, literally like finding a little chest of gold!!
I would definitely go for the Garland of Eden tiara in Gold – it fits “the look” so perfectly, and is such a beautiful piece. Certainly a way to stand out!

Wow, what a beautiful collection! I’d go for the delicate Vine hair pins or the gorgeous cascades of pearl hair comb! But seriously how could you pick?! They’re all amazing! Would love something for our gorgeous bridesmaids too – to add some sparkle to their day! xxx Fingers crossed! xxx

I would absolutely love to win the Kiss of Sparkle earrings. They are a timeless and romantic and would go perfectly with my hair half up, half down (and my timeless wedding theme). Every piece of jewellery is stunning though so I will definitely be checking out more on your website.

What a competition, Glitzy Glam’s stuff is amazing!! Thank you for introducing me to the brand! If I was lucky enough to win I think I’d go for the Rose of Gold headpiece, it’s incredible, but it would take some time to whittle down my favorites! Fingers crossed, haven’t got much money left for accessories stupidly! Xx

Your asking me too choose from this beautiful, unique collection…to be honest, I can’t! Each accessory is a timeless, captivating adornment befitting of all stunning brides on their magical day. My lovely daughter is preparing for her Xmas wedding, in pursuit of tradition and glamour what else would be more befitting for her special day…than to shine like that special star in the sky….thank you glitzy glam..for your design inspirations ✨?

I love all of the items but the cascade of pearls hair combs would look beautiful on my 3 bridesmaids and match my 1920s theme perfectly! I would also purchase the lovely pearl drop earrings. Charlotte x

Well, I’ve been told I should wear a big old tiara, that’s not quite me, so I decided to forget hair pieces….at least until I saw Garden of Beauty. It fits my theme perfectly and my maids would look gorgeous with the Vine of Extravagance

Oh my giddy aunt!! Every single piece is stunningly beautiful I simply can’t take my eyes off them!! If I were lucky enough to win then I’d definitely spend it on one of the gorgeous hair pieces ??. If not I would beg, borrow and steal to get my hands on one!! Immaculate in every way! Xx

Wow absolutely stunning designs.
I would definitely choose a hairpiece and my wedding jewellery.
Dont have my wedding dress yet so all depends on the style which pieces I would choose!
I would also buy my mum a wedding gift such as earrings or necklace.

Wow, just browsed the web-site and loved so many of the pieces. Probably choose something from the Pearl Wedding selection. Timeless elegance and so suitable for a bride/bridesmaids. Fingers crossed. ?

This is a fun comp! It would have to be the Vintage Wreath Tiara to go with my Eliza Jane Howell dress.. it would look really good with your Green Goddess Earrings for a splash of colour, plus I’m getting married in a woodland… to become Mrs Green!

I would split it between me and my bestie and spend the day choosing pieces for our big days – we are getting married a few months apart and our each other’s bridesmaid so would be the perfect way to spend some planning time together!

I’m not an overly girly girl but having said that I would really like to be adventurous and try a side tiara. With short unruly curly hair, it might be just enough to tame my curls and make my Mum happy too! I do like the Decadent Envy Concord Clip and think it would be something I would like to wear for my August wedding and beyond…overall though a really nice collection with lots of great pieces…even for those of us not so girly girls.

They are all lovely but I think the Pearl Sensation Side Tiara would look awesome with a birdcage veil and my 50s style dress that my bridesmaid is making for me! I’d get her the Shimmer of Rose Gold Necklace to thank her for her awesomeness too!
